A must for any fan of the Mighty Hudson

River of Mountains is more than a travel journal. It is also an historical and anecdotal work about the Mighty Hudson River. The author recounts his journey from the headwaters high in the rugged Adirondacks (Lake Tear of the Clouds), down 315 miles of whitewater, dammed water, polluted water, and brackish water to New York City and the Atlantic Ocean. He meets many interesting river people along the way, and relates much historical information about river. A must for anyone with any interest at all about the Hudson River
